MAJOR DOXEY'S DOUBTS.
He Is Still Undecided as TO What His Com
pany Will Do Toward Piping Gas.

AT tho Office OF the Anderson Natural Gas
Company, yesterday, Mr. Doxey and one of his
clerks were busy recording the contracts that
had been reported through the various solicit
ing ommittees Whether the pipeline enter
prise will be carried forward by this company
is as doubtful as It was when Mr.. Doxey first
announced his plans. Although a liberal re-
spouse from citizens has come to the support of
the company, serious doubts exist as TO the
number of contracts finally representing one
fourth of the consumers of the city. Mr.. Doxey
requires this number before he will attempt to
pipe cas- to the city. He said, yesterday. that
the matter must be settled soon il Indianapolis
wants gas this winter. If the contracts re-
lays il will be too late to begin work or to take
advantage Of certain prices in pipe which he
now obtain. In truth, he is not encouraged at
the outlook. He prefers to withhold from the
public for the present the total number of con-
tracts ne has secured. but he is not without
hope that the reports from other solicitors, who
have been canvassipg, will enable him to-day to
decide tavorabiS on carrying out the enter
prise

fore, may be left entirely out of the question,
as they prove nothing whatever as to the eff.

ATTACKING CONSUMPTION.
Some scientific French physicians have
been dealing with consumption in ways and
with results that are very encouraging. In
deed, there seems to be reason to believe that
this dreaded disease will not hereafter have
such sway as it has had.
DIR. Bergeon, of Lyons, is the inventor of
one of the new ways of treating consump-
ton. His plan consists in the introduction
into the system of sulphureted hydrogen
gas, carried by carbonic acid gas as vehi-
Gle. DR.. Bergeon had used this method of
treatment for two years before publishing
the results of his experiments, and in that
time had applied it to more than two hun
dred cases of chronic pulmonary throat dis
eases. The results were astonishing-espe-
cially in asthma and in pulmonary consump-
ton. In many cases permanent cures were
obtained, and in almost all there was i'm
provement. DR.. Bergeon's method has been
used in the Philadelphia hospital with
notable success.
Drs. Arthaud and Raymond set to work
to find some substance which, given to
rabbits, would prevent the development of
consumption after incubation. After much
experimentation they found that tannin
seemed to possess this power. In one par
ticular experiment nine rabbits were taken,
and to six of them tannin was administered
for month in doses of eight to fifteen
grains. At the end of this time the nine
were inoculated with matter taken from the
lung-tissue of patients who had died of tu-
berculosis. The six tannin-fed rabbits
showed no signs of infection, while the other
three died very soon, infected. Reasoning
from this, that tannin would be efficient in
consumption, these two French doctors have
applied it in over fifty cases with very favor
able results. 1t is given in thirty to sixty
grain doses, and later experiments have con-
frmed these results.
Both these methods have, it appears, been
tested to some extent in Hartford. The
Hartford Times says that DR.. Bergeons
method has been successfully used by DR..
M. M. johnson, and that it will form the
subject of a paper to be read at the meet
ing of the Hartford Medical society next
Wednesday, And the Times also knows of
one case of consumption in that city which
has been treated according to the plan of
Drs. Arthaud and Raymond with marked
benefit. This is cheering. If Hartford can
get ahead of New Haven in curing consump-
ton the victory will be one which will not be
beprudped her
